Highlights

  • Portable for use in hospitals, clinics, field hospitals, ambulances and patients' homes
  • Imaging without the need to move the patient
  • Faster than fixed X-ray systems, with quick results
  • Front shield on the unit to prevent X-ray scatter
  • Lower cost and time for transporting medical equipment
  • Advanced technology for higher image quality
  • Lead shielding is required to protect people in a non-isolated environment

Benefits of the econet portable X-ray unit

Accessibility

Moving a patient is difficult and can sometimes worsen their condition or cause injury. With this unit, the patient can be imaged without being moved.

Speed

The unit is faster than fixed X-ray systems and results are available in a short time, which supports faster diagnosis and treatment.

Safety

With this type of unit, less X-ray radiation reaches the patient and the operator, and the front shield prevents radiation from spreading. Since the mobile radiography environment is not isolated, special lead shields are required to protect the people present.

Cost savings

Transporting medical equipment is expensive. Portable equipment such as this unit reduces costs and lost time.

Image quality

The advanced technologies used in this unit increase image quality, which becomes even more important together with shorter turnaround times for results.

Improved patient care

Faster imaging, greater safety and higher image quality contribute to more accurate diagnosis and faster patient recovery, and reduce additional costs.
